The Arabic Materia Medica of Dioscorides

materia

"My own purpose was to examine all the extant Arabic manuscripts of Dioscorides concentrating on the Leiden version. (...) In my opinion the Leiden version is the earliest and most complete of all extant Arabic Dioscorides. (...) I have also chosen a later version, the Pierpont Morgan manuscript, to indicate the possible influences of an Arabic manuscript on a later Greek version (...)!" — The author

Commentaires

"The subject of Dioscorides in the Arabic world has baffled a number of prominent scholars (...) Sadek now joins their ranks, and we can be grateful to him for bringing us somewhat close to a rough understanding."

John M. Riddle
Isis 76:4:284 (1985)


"As an art historical work, Sadek's book is very informative (...) it will prove useful to historians of art science alike"

George Saliba
Journal of the American Oriental Soc. (1987)
